Athens store window smashed with brick

A man who was riding his four-wheeler in the snow Thursday morning noticed that the front door glass of Dollar General on Atlanta Highway had been smashed and called 911, Athens-Clarke County police said.

Officers said they found that a brick had been used to break the glass, but they did not immediately know if anything had been stolen.

Another business on the north side was found on Thursday to have been burglarized.

An owner of All Kleen, 555 Newton Bridge Road, told police that she and her family were in the area to go sleigh riding when she noticed a door and window were broken, police said.

Thieves got away with cash, snacks and drinks with a total value of more than $900, according to police.
